The Power of 'And' in Deaf Education: Language and the Brain

This webinar explores explores how embracing multiple approaches in deaf education—rather than choosing “either/or”—better supports the diverse needs of deaf and hard of hearing learners. Dr. Wyatte Hall discusses the critical role of language in brain development and debunks the myth that using more than one language is harmful. Research shows that the brain thrives on rich, consistent, and varied language input, highlighting the importance of early and accessible language exposure for cognitive development.
